3. Accommodation and dinning 

In Tây Bắc, typically, each 50km, there is a small town. Every town has a holiday but the conditions and quality of service restrictions. Ideally you should carefully calculate journey to get to the city or town center. Can refer people to find local accommodation.

 Find accommodation near the market or on the main road center makes it easy to find a place to eat and walk around at night. Most of the guest house, motel room in the area cost about 100.000 - 200.000 VND / night. Should see the room before deciding to stay.

Not many restaurants, especially the journey away from the city. If you find the restaurants, you should stop eating, not fussy or wait for better consistency, you will probably get hungry. Only when you arrive, ordering the new bartender to cook hot food. So do not be afraid of the diner look "poor", go ahead to ask, you'll have warm meals belly before continuing the journey.

4.  Respect local culture

Unless some point to have been "cultural tourism", many areas along the northwestern stretch of road was pretty wild, gentle honest people, come here, you have absolute respect for indigenous culture.

If you are friendly, intimacy, respect for indigenous people, you'll get back the same. Although want to learn people's life, you should not excessively spying on the corner of the house, not looking especially incline into the bedroom of the owner.

5. Things need to pay Attention

To protect their transportation, where there is hardly going to get off stage observed before the pass. Vehicle speed must be employed in any situation. When tired to find a safe place to stop and rest, do not go trying ...

Pack food in vehicles such as cakes, chocolate, some fruits like apples, plums, oranges... in case you are hungry and there is no shop along the way. Always carry warm clothes when you go to Tây Bắc in winter.

And do not forget to buy a lot of sweets, cakes to ready the car because you can see children on the street anywhere and a great gift for kid’s uplands is confectionery. Looking cheerful kids smiling with petite sweets, your trip will be more full and warmer.
